Revaming the Blog to Represent the New Me

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." 

That's right, I'm renaming this blog. I'm no longer only 30 years old, I'm WAY past that 30 lbs, and now, my big goal is to hit the 100's. I haven't been in the century club since...junior high? I think it's about time to re-join the fight and get back to a weight I don't even remember. Honestly, the least I can remember myself weight was still in the 210's. That's scary-I don't know what I will look like nor what I will *feel* like when I hit the 100's, but it's happening.

The Biggest Loser keeps using the phrase "onederland" - people who left the 200 weights behind them and entered, backward, into the 100's. It kind of stuck with me while watching this last season. Not very creative on my part, because I stole it from a TV show and other weight loss bloggers, but it resonates with me. Why? Because it would be wonderful to be back to under 200. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my body. I'm a lean, mean, running machine. My body fat % has been dropping. I'm toning up. I don't see the changes, but others do- and they're letting me know.

...and every time I hear "wonderland" I think of that John Mayer song that catapulted him into his douchebag years, "Your Body is a Wonderland." While I know he wrote this song for Jennifer Love Hewitt and my body in no way resembles hers, I can get behind the idea of a guy telling me my body is a wonderland. 

So, a new name it is. New name, same old Liz. Sometimes the remake is better than the original, right?
